Project Grant SO30856426

The Florida Humanities Council, Incorporated received a $835,496 Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) under the Promotion of the Humanities Federal/State Partnership program (CFDA 45.129), effective June 1, 2026, through April 30, 2031. This general operating support grant enables the Council to develop and deliver public humanities programming, educational initiatives, and community engagement activities tailored to Florida's needs, resources, and interests. Through subawards and direct public programming, the Council advances its mission to preserve, promote, and share Florida's history, literature, cultures, and personal stories, fostering greater understanding among Floridians of themselves, their communities, and their state.

The five-year grant supports the Council's comprehensive humanities initiatives, including documentary film productions, oral history collections, interactive educational exhibitions, and grants to local cultural institutions throughout Florida. The Council's grant-funded work encompasses initiatives that foster cross-cultural understanding, contextualize historical narratives, promote civic engagement, and enhance information literacy across diverse multimedia and educational platforms. Per program requirements, the Council must expend funds during the first three years of the performance period and maintain comprehensive fiscal documentation for three years following submission of the final expenditure report.
